Some 45 years after winning a Super Bowl as the Raiders’ coach, John Madden’s life will be celebrated Monday night at Oakland’s Coliseum amid a star-studded lineup of speakers.
It’s Super Bowl week again in Los Angeles, where, after a 29-year break, a Lombardi Trophy coronation is coming Sunday night.Madden won his one and only Super Bowl 45 years ago at the Rose Bowl. Sunday, it will be the Rams’ Sean McVay and the Cincinnati Bengals’ Zac Taylor vying for their first Lombardi Trophy at SoFi Stadium.
“His love of the game never waned,” Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday in a phone interview. Madden: “I really believed the whole time that if this was going to be the best time in your life and you’re going to look back at it for the rest of your life, that this was the highlight of your career, it’s going to be the Super Bowl, and it’s only going to be winning the Super Bowl. It’s not going to be losing the Super Bowl. So if that’s going to be the highlight of your life, then act like it and get ready to play the best game of your life and get ready to enjoy it.
“So I remember walking off the field after that practice and I said to myself, ‘You’ve got to this point. They’re ready. Just don’t screw em up. Because they’re ready.’ I did a very little talk and I did very little. Friday we went through special teams, didn’t do much on Saturday. Here is what Davis said in 2006 when recalling his Super Bowl eve phone call with Madden and whether he had any doubts of winning the first of the Raiders’ three Super Bowl titles.
“We had a defensive backfield that was pretty good. That God damn Willie Brown might be the best that’s ever played.
